Summary (English)

As it was highlighted by the majority of stakeholders, in Azerbaijan the lack of resources is clearly not the major impediment in the organisation of social rehabilitation ofvulnerable groups and low-income households. The mobilisation of resources depends on political will. At the same time the lack of coordination between different actions and different stakeholders is observed. Often, the sponsors and donors select themselves the target groups according to their own vision of the population deserving the help without getting the information from competent rganisations. The help is often provided without real analysis of needs of low-income population and vulnerable groups.
